"The Dolphins" was written and composed by Fred Neil. We took our vocal cues from Tim Buckley and Robin Pecknold, who have also covered this song.
lyrics
sometimes i think about saturday's child
and all about the times we were runnin wild
i've been searching for the dolphins in the sea
oh / sometimes i wonder if you think of me
well i'm not the one to tell this world how to get along
i only know that peace will come after all the hate is gone
i've been searching for the dolphins in the sea
oh / sometimes i wonder if you think of me
this old world will never change the way it's been
and all your ways of war couldn't change it back again
i've been searching for the dolphins in the sea
oh / sometimes i wonder if you think of me
sometimes i think about saturday's child
and all about the times we were runnin wild
i've been searching for the dolphins in the sea
oh / sometimes i wonder if you think of me
yeah i've been searching for the dolphins in the sea
oh / sometimes i wonder if you think of me

Harmonies, how the album was produced, using a space (with all its foibles, and reflections) in a natural way that I really loved.
The songwriting and arrangements are deceptively simple on first blush. Stephen Falk
